It’s been a couple years since Fortinet was last in Gartner’s August 2016 Magic Quadrant for the Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure, Gartner has recognized Fortinet as a Visionary. We believe this is a great position for Fortinet to be in, which we feel shows the investment and forward thinking of our wired and wireless portfolio, strategy and vision, and our market penetration.

Fortinet a challenger in Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls was released in May 2016, and we believe Fortinet’s results show our strategic motions and product innovations have moved us in the right direction – towards the upper right. Fortinet now straddle the line between the Challengers and Leaders Quadrant, and have been positioned the furthest for execution and vision in the Challengers quadrant. This is the first time Fortinet has landed on the line, leaning slightly into the Leaders Quadrant, and we should be proud of this accomplishment.
